Lifestyle

I realised recently that I had reached a point in my life where I actually feel happy with who I am. Now this sounds like a simple enough statement (perhaps a little deep), and it was true for a period of my life, but some time into my late teens/very early 20s, I was actually just living for others. I liked to go around and say “I don’t care what anyone thinks!”, but the truth was I did… actually, I cared a lot. I’m not sure if you guys reading have ever lived your life is this way, but it’s seriously draining…

In my mid to late teens I used to dedicate a few hours every Sunday to “me time”. I’d have a complete pamper evening, organise my thoughts and set some goals for the week ahead. I would even keep a password protected word file on my computer which sort of served as a diary for me to write down everything on my mind. When I started university, “me time” turned into “sleep time” and generally I’d spend my time sleeping, studying, or partying, there wasn’t much of an inbetween… Then I started working in 2016 and “me time” became “what time?!” Spending most of my time sat at a desk and trying to balance that with a social life and a blog/social media, I started to feel like I really had no time for myself. Fast forward to 2017, I decided I wanted to start taking care of myself, and I kicked that off with a dive into my health & fitness journey – along the way, I’ve picked up a couple of other habits that make me feel pretty fab.
